Directed by Terence Davies
Starring Marjorie Yates, Leigh McCormack, Anthony Watson, Nicholas Lamont, Ayse Owens
A special end-of-year tribute screening in memory of the late, great British filmmaker Terence Davies, director of DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES (1988), A QUIET PASSION (2016) and THE DEEP BLUE SEA (2011). Enjoy what is arguably the director's most beloved film, and a beautiful evocation of his oft-evoked themes of time and memory.
'THE LONG DAY CLOSES is the most gloriously cinematic expression of the unique sensibility of Terence Davies, widely celebrated as Britain’s greatest living filmmaker.
Suffused with both enchantment and melancholy, this autobiographical film takes on the perspective of a quiet, lonely boy growing up in Liverpool in the 1950s. But rather than employ a straightforward narrative, Davies jumps in and out of time, swoops into fantasies and fears, summons memories and dreams.
A singular filmic tapestry, THE LONG DAY CLOSES is an evocative, movie-and-music-besotted portrait of the artist as a young man.'
